Ras Soda, Archaeological temple site in Alexandria, Egypt

The Temple of Ras El Soda stands with four white marble columns on a raised platform accessible by an ascending staircase in Alexandria.

A Roman charioteer named Ezadoras commissioned the construction of this temple in the second century AD as gratitude to the goddess Isis.

The four columns within the temple represent different deities: Hermanubis with a jackal, Harpocratis as a child, Isis with sacred water, and Osiris.

The temple relocated in 1994 to the cemetery area of Latins after facing preservation challenges at its original location near residential areas.

This private temple remains the only one discovered in Alexandria, featuring two distinct levels for worship and priest accommodation.
